Taylor & Francis Ltd Armed Drones and Globalization in the Asymmetric
Book SynopsisThis book is a critical exploration of the war on terror from the prism of armed drones and globalization. It is particularly focused on the United States' use of the drones, and the systemic dysfunctions that globalization has caused to international political economy and national security, creating backlash in which the desirability of globalization is not only increasingly questioned, but the resultant dissension about its desirability appears increasingly militating against the international consensus needed to fight the war on terror. To underline the controversial nature of the war on terror and the pragmatic weapon (armed drones) fashioned for its prosecution, some of the elements of this controversy have been interrogated in this book. They include, amongst others, the doubt over whether the war should have been declared in the first place because terrorist attacks hardly meet the United Nations' casus belli an armed attack. There are critics, as highlighted iTable of ContentsContentsDedicationContentsList of AcronymsPrefaceChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Insurgency and Terrorism as forms of Asymmetric WarfareChapter 3: The War on Terrorism (WoT) Chapter 4: Dirty/nightmarish weapon platforms in WoT Chapter 5: The jurisprudence of new and "unregulated" weapons Chapter 6: The armed drone weapon platform Chapter 7: Drones in self-defence against terrorists Chapter 8: Drones, vanishing frontlines and the emergence of "battlespace" Chapter 9: Drones in International Humanitarian Law, IHL Chapter 10: Drones and ethics in WoT Chapter 11: Drones, WoT and the principle of chivalry Chapter 12: Drones, miniaturization, automation and accountability in WoT Chapter 13: Globalization, postmodernism and the WoTChapter 14: To achieve a successful WoTSelect bibliography Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Space Warfare in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisThis book examines the recent shift in US space policy and the forces that continually draw the US back into a space-technology security dilemma. The dual-use nature of the vast majority of space technology, meaning of value to both civilian and military communities and being unable to differentiate offensive from defensive intent of military hardware, makes space an area particularly ripe for a security dilemma. In contrast to previous administrations, the Obama Administration has pursued a less militaristic space policy, instead employing a strategic restraint approach that stressed multilateral diplomacy to space challenges. The latter required international solutions and the United States, subsequently, even voiced support for an International Code of Conduct for Space. That policy held until the Chinese anti-satellite (ASAT) test in 2013, which demonstrated expanded Chinese capabilities. This volume explores the issues arising from evolving space capabilities across the Trade Review'This book is a fair introductory text to the world of American space security policy for newcomers.' -- E-IR journal'Joan Johnson-Freese has written a timely, thought-provoking, and richly researched book that should be read by everyone interested in 21st century space policy. She raises serious concerns about our current path and offers recommendations for the new U.S. administration, as well as other governments, for preventing future conflict and strengthening space cooperation.' -- James Clay Moltz, Naval Postgraduate School, USA'Johnson-Freese’s penetrating analysis of space security as a critical component of U.S. national security makes this a must-read book for national security policymakers – especially those in the new administration. Her insight provides the context for understanding the complexities of this often underappreciated domain and why "the days of the space sanctuary are gone." In a word – compelling.' -- Marcia Smith, Editor of SpacePolicyOnline.com'Dr. Joan Johnson-Freese makes a compelling case that even under the administration of President Barack Obama, U.S. national space policy has relied too heavily on ineffective, and often counterproductive means in pursuit of overly ambitious objectives. If the United States’ primary objective is to protect and expand its own ability to use space for a wide variety of highly beneficial economic, military, and social purposes, then the United States should ratchet down its rhetoric and development of offensive capabilities, ramping up its use of space diplomacy deterrence strategies that do not increase crisis instability. This lively book is highly recommended for anyone interested in space or national security.' -- Nancy Gallagher, University of Maryland, USA'Joan Johnson-Freese’s excellent book questions many assumptions made by those in the space policy world as a given and contextualizes governmental decisions (both here and abroad) to allow for a more thorough understanding of the space domain. Through a solid overview of U.S. policy, political statements, and budgetary decisions, she demonstrates how the United States is at a turning point in how it views and acts on space control.' -- Victoria Samson, Secure World Foundation, USA'Joan Johnson-Freese is an intellectual leader in the much neglected field of space security not just because of her encyclopedic knowledge of the subject but because of her willingness to swim, at times, against the policy tide. In Space Warfare in the 21st Century she has given us an overview of evolution of space policy combined with cogent recommendations for building the sort of order in the cosmos that will be necessary if our species is going to take full advantage of our growing access to space. Her target are those who believe space war is inevitable and our only course is to prepare for it. She argues - with passion tempered by pragmatism - that prudent diplomacy and enlightened self interest can ensure the economic and scientific promise of space for future generations. Readers new to the field will find this book accessible; older hands may find their assumptions challenged; but for anyone interested the future of space, this is a must read.' -- Ambassador Roger G.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Nuclear Proliferation
Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Nuclear Proliferation delves deep into the changing global nuclear landscape. The chapters document the increasing complexity of the global nuclear proliferation dynamic and the inability of the international community to come to terms with a rapidly changing strategic milieu. The future, in all likelihood, will be very different from the past, and the chapters in this volume develop a framework that aids a better understanding of the forces that will shape the nuclear proliferation debate in the years to come. Part I examines the major thematic issues underlying the contemporary discourse on nuclear proliferation. Part II gives an overview of the evolving nuclear policies of the five established nuclear powers: the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and the People's Republic of China. Part III looks at the three de facto nuclear states: India, Pakistan and Israel. Part IV examines two `problem states' in the proliferation matrix today: Iran and North Korea. Part V sheds light on an important issue often ignored during discussions of nuclear proliferation – cases where states have made a deliberate policy choice of either renouncing their nuclear weapons programme, or have decided to remain a threshold state. The cases of South Africa, Egypt and Japan will be the focus of this section. Part VI, will examine the present state of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime, which most observers agree is currently facing a crisis of credibility. The three pillars of this regime – the NPT, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty – will be analyzed.Table of ContentsProposed Contents1 Introduction: Harsh V.

Cambridge University Press Humanitarian Disarmament
Book SynopsisThe humanitarian framing of disarmament is not a novel development, but rather represents a re-emergence of a much older and long-standing sensibility of humanitarianism in disarmament. The Book rejects the ''big bang'' theory that presents the Anti-Personnel Landmines Convention 1997, and its successors the Convention on Cluster Munitions 2008, and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons 2017 as a paradigm shift from an older traditional state-centric approach towards a more progressive humanitarian approach. It shows how humanitarian disarmament has a long and complex history, which includes these treaties. This book argues that the attempt to locate the birth of humanitarian disarmament in these treaties is part of the attempt to cleanse humanitarian disarmament of politics, presenting humanitarianism as a morally superior discourse in disarmament. However, humanitarianism carries its own blind spots and has its own hegemonic leanings. It may be silencing other potentiallTrade Review'There is a great deal of discussion in the current literature on international nuclear weapons law regarding the humanitarian movement in diplomacy and civil society, which played a major role in the successful adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. In this book, Treasa Dunworth makes a tremendously significant contribution to this literature by placing this most recent humanitarian initiative in its historical and theoretical context within the broader narrative of humanitarian disarmament generally. Contextualising the modern movement in this way helps us to understand its nature and its successes, as well as the likely limits of its power to bring about nuclear disarmament.' Daniel Joyner, Elton B. Stephens Professor of Law, University of Alabama'This book provides a very timely contribution that will inform current debates about both the legacy of HD and, more importantly, its future direction and place in the architecture of regulation to control the means of violence.' Neil Cooper, Director, School of Peace and Conflict Studies, Kent State University'An elegant and richly informative study that charts the genealogy of humanitarian disarmament - or, as it is put in this fine work, a humanitarian framing of disarmament. Digging deep into materials from public international law as well as from other disciplines, Treasa Dunworth has given us a history of the concept without the gloss - and it is a quietly compelling history that is brought alive as much by the supreme clarity of its exposition as it is by the sustained and patient critical engagement that takes hold of each page.' Dino Kritsiotis, Professor of Public International Law, University of Nottingham, Co-Director of the Nottingham International Law and Security Centre (NILSC)'In a relaxed and informative style, Dr Dunworth surveys the humanitarian impetus for key disarmament efforts and outcomes, spanning from the St Petersburg Declaration of 1868 up until the adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in 2017. It is a fascinating and illuminating account - a rewarding read for anyone interested in disarmament.'

The University of Chicago Press Breeding Bio Insecurity How US Biodefense is
Book SynopsisOffers necessary steps to set us on the path toward true biosecurity. This book argues that true biosecurity will require a multipronged effort based on an understanding of the complexity of the issue, guided by scientific ethics, and watched over by a vigilant citizenry attentive to the difference between fearmongering and true analysis of risk.Trade Review"Forceful and provocative, Breeding Bio Insecurity contends that U.S. biodefense policies generate more risk than the threat they are supposed to be addressing. By carefully spelling out their rationales, the book's authors place the burden of justification on the defenders of massive biodefense budgets. Replete with deft arguments and imaginative scenarios, this book should be read by scientists, policy makers, and, indeed, all concerned citizens." - Leonard Cole, author of Terror: How Israel Has Coped and What America Can Learn"

The University of Chicago Press Complex Deterrence
Book SynopsisAs the costs of a preemptive foreign policy in Iraq have become clear, strategies such as containment and deterrence have been gaining currency among policy makers. This book offers an agenda for the contemporary practice of deterrence - especially as it applies to nuclear weapons - in an increasingly heterogeneous global and political setting.Trade Review"This book is a valuable antidote to some of the more glib and prematurely pessimistic statements that get circulated about 'the end of deterrence as we know it.' Quite comprehensive on the theories and modes of deterrence, it is valuable for drawing together both political scientists and policy makers." - George Quester, University of Maryland"
